BluesBear you are 100% correct.

Thank goodness, BluesBear. If you did I'm afraid we would have to remove some parts of that Taurus from you piece by piece.
When I read the velocities he and others in that 44 loading group puportedly got, I realized that several of my 44mag loadings did not generate those velocities. When I read how he mixed powders I really became aware of how lucky some people are. I don't usually have that kind of luck in life :banghead: and I won't start trying now. However, between the polar extremes of anemic factory loads
created over 75 years ago and Elmer Keith's ballistic rockets
there is a great 44 spl load waiting on a ballistician to discover its secret.
